I remember the crank days back in the late 80s through the 90s. My dad used to cook. I'm 44, and it took me this long to get my stuff together. 6 years clean and sober. Yea, old bathtub crank. I lost my older brother because of it. Anyway, thanks you guy's . Blessings I wouldn't have changed a thing. Doing great
@mudtrucking Thank you for commenting, and Congrats on your 6 years! Sorry to hear about your brother.
remembering last time i exited an institution was totally unable to sleep in a regular home as it was to quiet!!! the noises and all the screaming thoughts rocked me to sleep ,sad times.
@Mariocote1443 dude thanks for jumping in a sharing that Greatly appreciated
Hey at least she was there teaching you the ins and outs of the cops and so on. My mom just dropped me off in the middle of the hood at the age of 12 and took off I had to figure things out myself
@rwdoall Thank you for your comment, thats a f'ed up way to begin life as a kid.... How are you today?
@@genxareweadultsyet I didn't mean anything by that like you haven't been through it. Growing up in those areas are hell....I was more being sarcastic. Hard to include that I text. I'm doing great...now...after overcoming my mother....only took 40 years 😂😂l

This one just took off! we appeased the algorithm.
Steve was my hope shot at the end on my road. I had some dealings with him out there doing what we do on occasion and then on my last days I saw him and his brother at the library doing something different with themselves. That gave me hope at the time, that maybe I could do something different.
@Danielford7322 Thank you for watching and jumping in. It’s such a trip you never know which moment will inspire someone else.
I was just saying the other day i was talking about going back in time. I would tell 16 year old me to stay away from the hard drugs and that i have way more potential than 16 old me think i do. But hey, I love my life a lot now too.
Sounds like you and I would have similar messages for our younger selves. Looking back I’m not sure I would have taken my advice 🤷🏽♂️
Im getting in on a podcast that's gonna be huge
Which podcast?
